swan sleeping so softly

hi there

mostly just one of those posts i do every now and then to say hello, yes, for better or worse i still roam the planet, look you see. but, that said, one or two may find this interesting. at best, that many. 

recently i had reason to be outside, during my time of exile, near a body of water. for the most part, or indeed mostly, all was as i recalled it to be. except i saw that one swan was, i think, asleep. motionless, at the least, and appearing to be not quite so awake. 

not the best picture ever, i concede, but i did all that "zoom" thing so as to remove (most) distractions from the view. at the least i would take it as a given that you can see the swan is in what i believe, from previous observations, to be a sleeping position. one would suggest it is perhaps not the most comfortable way to sleep, but then i don't sleep on a water bed, or if you like bed of water. also my neck is nowhere near as long, and seldom is it when asleep that i have to be mindful of feathers. 

if any of you reading this are enthusiastic (or interested) in short, really shaky videos, then have i got a treat for you. behold, then, a short shaky video of a swan sleeping (presumably), with in fairness a nice reflection of a bird or two on the calm of the water. 

when the subject of swans has come up here in the past (rather than the future) the question, or debate, over whether or not the reigning monarch of our nation, at time of writing HMQE2, really does own all swans. there is, presumably, no need to do so again. 

right, well, that's that. 

be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
